Can't see town being attractive to away fans - poor seating, few facilities in the stadium, relatively pricey tickets. Better than a lot of grounds I've been to but not a big draw. Pros? Decent transport links if coming by rail, not too far from the M4 but parking not ideal. Old ground (pro or con depending what way you look at it) central location (ditto). Could do with the arkells being rebuilt without pillars to block the view, and a covered Stratton bank, with maybe tickets down to twenty quid (in the Stratton bank, would have to keep the arkells same as home prices). Don't think Swindon represent the worst experience or value for money but compare it to somewhere like wolves, great ground with similar priced tickets, and we don't come off that well. Sheffield United? Fantastic old ground, cheaper tickets than us. Lot of factors as to why of course but unless a derby game I can't see many supporters putting us as a "must see" when the fixtures get released.

The MK Dons supporters had lovely day at the County Ground this season which was more to do with the home team's generosity than the quality of the view. They all stand anyway.
